Instructions for IBM Business Partners
In addition to the instructions in this section for installing optional hardware
devices, updating firmware and device drivers, and completing the installation,
IBM Business Partners must also complete the following steps.
1. After you have confirmed that the server starts correctly and recognizes the
newly installed devices and that no error LEDs are lit, run the Dynamic System
Analysis (DSA) stress test. For information about using DSA, see “IBM
Dynamic System Analysis” on page 149.
2. Shut down and restart the server multiple times to ensure that the server is
correctly configured and functions correctly with the newly installed devices.
3. Save the DSA log as a file and send it to IBM. For information about
transferring data and logs, see “How to send DSA data to IBM.”
4. To ship the server, repackage it in the original undamaged packing material
and observe IBM procedures for shipping.
